The electromagnetic portion 23 is disposed on an outer periphery of the rotor core 20 and faces the stator 52. In the electromagnetic portion 23, a plurality of magnetic pole portions 30 are formed at equal intervals along a circumferential direction. Each magnetic pole portion 30 is constituted of three magnets 31 inserted into three magnet insertion holes 24 arranged in a substantial arc shape convex inward in a radial direction. The magnet 31 is, for example, a permanent magnet such as a neodymium magnet. The magnetic pole portion 30 may be constituted of two magnets arranged in two magnet insertion holes arranged in a substantially V-shape opening outward in the radial direction or constituted of one flat plate magnet or circular arc magnet.
The cooling portion 22 includes first refrigerant flow path holes 25 and second refrigerant flow path holes 26 alternately arranged along the circumferential direction.
The first refrigerant flow path hole 25 is located on a d-axis connecting the center of each magnetic pole portion 30 and the center CL of the rotor 51. The second refrigerant flow path holes 26 are located on q-axes passing through one circumferential end portion and the other circumferential end portion of each magnetic pole portion 30 and the center CL of the rotor 51.
The first refrigerant flow path hole 25 has a substantially pentagonal shape with a radially inward protruding apex portion and has a radial-inner-side apex portion 25 d which protrudes radially inward. The second refrigerant flow path hole 26 has a substantially rectangular shape which is convex on both sides in the circumferential direction and both sides in the radial direction and has a radial-inner-side apex portion 26 d which protrudes radially inward. The radial-inner-side apex portion 26 d of the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 is located further on an outer side than the radial-inner-side apex portion 25 d of the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 in the radial direction. That is, in the cooling portion 22 of the rotor core 20, the radial-inner-side apex portion 25 d of the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 is located at a radially innermost position.
[End Plate]
The first end plate 40 a is disposed to face an end surface of the rotor core 20, which is the end surface on one end side in an axial direction, as illustrated in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5. An insertion hole 41 for inserting the rotor shaft 10 is formed at the center of the first end plate 40 a. In addition, on the radially outer side than the insertion hole 41, a plurality of refrigerant discharge holes 42 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction so as to overlap with the second refrigerant flow path holes 26 formed in the rotor core 20.
Further, on an inner side surface of the first end plate 40 a, formed are a refrigerant introduction groove 43 of an annular shape which communicates with a refrigerant supply path 12 formed in the rotor shaft 10 at a radial-inner-side corner portion of the insertion hole 41, a first groove portion 44 of an annular shape which communicates with the refrigerant introduction groove 43 and communicates with the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 of the rotor core 20, and a second groove portion 45 which communicates with the first groove portion 44 and communicates with a refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a.
The first groove portion 44 is continuous from the refrigerant introduction groove 43 and is an annular concave groove having a radius D1 larger than the radial-inner-side apex portion 25 d of the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 from the center CL of the rotor 51 and smaller than the radial-inner-side apex portion 26 d of the second refrigerant flow path hole 26. Therefore, the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant flow path 11 is introduced from the refrigerant introduction groove 43 to the first groove portion 44 as indicated by T0 in the drawing, and then the refrigerant is supplied from the first groove portion 44 to the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 of the rotor core 20 as indicated by T2 in the drawing. The refrigerant supplied to the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 cools the magnet 31 disposed in each magnetic pole portion 30 by flowing the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 from one side to the other side in the axial direction.
The second groove portion 45 is a concave groove extending linearly from the outer periphery portion of the first groove portion 44 in the radial direction. The second groove portions 45 are provided with the same number as that of the refrigerant discharge holes 42 of the first end plate 40 a and the second groove portions 45 are respectively connected to the refrigerant discharge holes 42. Therefore, a part of the refrigerant introduced from the refrigerant introduction groove 43 to the first groove portion 44 is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a through the second groove portion 45 as indicated by T1 in the drawing.
The second end plate 40 b is disposed to face an end surface of the rotor core 20, which is the end surface on the other end side in the axial direction. The insertion hole 41 through which the rotor shaft 10 is inserted is formed at the center of the second end plate 40 b, and further, in a portion radially outer side than the insertion hole 41, a plurality of refrigerant discharge holes 42 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction so as to overlap with the second refrigerant flow path holes 26 formed in the rotor core 20.
In addition, a third groove portion 46 is formed on the inner surface of the second end plate 40 b so as to communicate with the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 of the rotor core 20 and to communicate with the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b.
The third groove portion 46 is continuous from the insertion hole 41 and is an annular concave groove having a radius D2 larger than the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b from the center CL of the rotor 51. Therefore, the refrigerant supplied from the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b through the third groove portion 46 as indicated by T3 in the drawing.
Although the refrigerant discharge holes 42 of the first end plate 40 a and the second end plate 40 b have a substantially triangular shape with an apex radially outward, the shape of the refrigerant discharge hole 42 can be changed as appropriate.
[Stator]
The stator 52 includes a stator core 91, and coils 92 wound around a plurality of slots formed in the stator core 91. The coil 92 includes a first coil end 98 a which protrudes in the axial direction from one end surface 91 a side of the stator core 91 and a second coil end 98 b which protrudes in the axial direction from the other end surface 91 b side of the stator core 91. The first coil end 98 a is located radially outward of the first end plate 40 a and the second coil end 98 b is located radially outward of the second end plate 40 b. Therefore, the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first coil end 98 a is supplied to the first coil end 98 a and the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b is supplied to the second coil end 98 b.
[Cooling Action]
Next, the cooling action of the electric rotary machine 50 will be described.
In the electric rotary machine 50 of the embodiment, the refrigerant pressure-fed by a refrigerant pump (not illustrated) is supplied to the rotor shaft 10 via the circulation path. The refrigerant supplied to the refrigerant flow path 11 is supplied to a refrigerant supply path 12 radially passing through the rotor shaft 10.
The refrigerant of the refrigerant supply path 12 passes through the refrigerant introduction groove 43 and the first groove portion 44 of the first end plate 40 a by the centrifugal force acting on the refrigerant as indicated by T0 in the drawing and is supplied to the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 of the rotor core 20 as indicated by T2 in the drawing, and then the refrigerant flows through the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 to internally cool the rotor core 20. Since the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 is disposed in the vicinity of the magnetic pole portion 30, the magnet 31 with the largest amount of heat generation can be cooled effectively.
The refrigerant supplied to the first groove portion 44 is further discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a through the second groove portion 45 from the first groove portion 44 as indicated by T1 in the drawing and supplied to the first coil end 98 a. In addition, the refrigerant flowing through the first refrigerant flow path hole 25 is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b through the third groove portion 46 as indicated by T3 in the drawing and supplied to the second coil end 98 b. As a result, the refrigerant discharged from the rotor core 20 can be used to cool the coil 92 of the stator 52, particularly the first coil end 98 a and the second coil end 98 b on both sides of the stator core 91.
According to the embodiment, the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant supply path 12 of the rotor shaft 10 can be distributed into two paths, that is, a path where the refrigerant is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a through the first groove portion 44 and the second groove portion 45 of the first end plate 40 a and a path where the refrigerant is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b through the first groove portion 44 of the first end plate 40 a, the first refrigerant flow path hole 25, and the third groove portion 46. Therefore, the first coil end 98 a and the second coil end 98 b on both sides of the stator 52 can be cooled. In addition, the magnetic pole portion 30 of the rotor 51 can be internally cooled by the refrigerant passing through the first refrigerant flow path hole 25.
Second Embodiment
Next, an electric rotary machine 50 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. Since the electric rotary machine 50 of the second embodiment differs from the electric rotary machine 50 of the first embodiment only in the size of the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the descriptions thereof are omitted.
In the electric rotary machine 50 of the second embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the first end plate 40 a is smaller than the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 when viewed from the axial direction. Thus, by making the refrigerant discharge hole 42 smaller than the second refrigerant flow path hole 26, a part of the refrigerant passing through second groove portion 45 is introduced to the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 as indicated by T4 in the drawing. Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9, since the third groove portion 46 of the second end plate 40 b also communicates with the second refrigerant flow path hole 26, the refrigerant supplied from the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b through the third groove portion 46.
Therefore, according to the electric rotary machine 50 of the embodiment, in addition to the two paths described in the first embodiment, the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant supply path 12 of the rotor shaft 10 flows through the first groove portion 44 and the second groove portion 45 of the first end plate 40 a into the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 and is discharged from the refrigerant discharge hole 42 of the second end plate 40 b through the third groove portion 46. Therefore, the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant supply path 12 of the rotor shaft 10 can be distributed into three paths.
In particular, since an outer-diameter-side apex portion 26 e of the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 is located radially outward of an innermost diameter portion 32 of the magnetic pole portion 30, a refrigerant flow path can be formed in the vicinity of the circumferential end portion of the magnetic pole portion 30 and the cooling performance of the rotor 51 is improved.
In the embodiment described above, modifications, improvements, and the like can be made as appropriate. For example, in the first embodiment, the second refrigerant flow path hole 26 may not be provided.
At least the following matters are described in the specification. In addition, although the components or the likes corresponding to those in the embodiments described above are shown in parenthesis, it is not limited thereto.
